Electric or Gas?


Written By: Gabriela Gurule
Are you still riding a Good old, classic, conventional gas- powered dirt bike? Now, people are really pretty much getting sick and tired of having to pay the sky rocketing gas prices and the myths of global warming. I have found an environmentally friendly and economical substitute for a conventional, gas- powered dirt bike. Low and behold the electric dirt bike!
The electric dirt bike can pretty much do everything that a gas- powered bike can. This is perfect for our four corners region because yes, we are predominately a MX (motocross) based town, with the exception of football. As well as the minimizing of noise and pollution that a gas- powered bike emits.
Now say that you’re a parent and your child wants a bike. An electric bike is the perfect solution to that problem! Haha. This offers the thrill and adrenaline rush that a gas- powered bike would, but it’s a safer alternative. Not to mention that they can actually accentuate the personality of your child, while keeping them in shape as well as adding excitement to the outdoors!
The only down fall of the electrically powered bike is the cost, which runs a slight bit steeper than the cost of a regular dirt bike. My prediction, however, is that the cost will fall in the next couple of years to come. Keep in mind that the electrical dirt bike will pretty much pay for itself because the cost of gas is emptying wallets, and you’re also helping do your part in a greener environment.
